The lush area surrounding Khao Lak beach was once known as ‘Takola’. Artifacts and evidences of Southeast Asian culture dated back more than 1,400 years show that Takola was a significant coastal town and trading post of the ancient maritime silk route. The archaic culture which prospered in this peninsula is among the treasured heritage of Thailand and Southeast Asia.
Paying homage to the opulence of the 6th and 7th centuries, Devasom Khao Lak resort’s design is based on the intricate and breathtaking archaic art and architecture of a lost Southeast Asia civilisation that once flourished here.
